Favre just handed the ball off, don't think he was trying to block...Still was a garbage penalty.

The holding was a good call.

Why not, I wouldn't mine seeing that too! Good for betting and good for watching, what more can you ask for?

Exactly. They are the 2 teams I picked this weekend. But even if I thought the Saints would win, I would still be happy if the Vikes won. I enjoy watching Favre about as much as I like watching Manning. If the Vikes get past the saints it should make for one helluva superbowl.

but have there been any calls when NO is on offense to hurt them? no. so whats the difference if they can't do shit on offense.

edit: well who cares now if they keep coming back!

F*** the REFS, SAINTS win and cover!

That was a holding call! Wasn't a bad call!

Terrible call, let the guys play. You don't get the isolation camera on what goes on between corners and wide outs, they were doing nothing but playing grabass. You can call that every play if you wanted. Of course they wait until 4th down to call it.

Also you didn't mention the call where they knocked Favre down, you agree with that call as well? That was bullshit. The defender is entitled to the space directly between him and the football. He can knock down who's in front of him all day long to try and make a tackle, hell that's what you are taught to do. You have to do that to play football, otherwise they put skirts on and this would be soccer.

They will keep it close but make key calls when needed to make sure the Vikes move on. I might make a 2nd half wager on them knowing what I know now. Congrats Vike backers...

Do you ever watch football? All these calls are perfectly normal for todays NFL. You're not allowed to hit people in the NFL anymore! And you certainly aren't allowed to undress a reciever while the balls in the air. Enough with the conspiracy theories give me a break.....

If you think this game is fixed you have some screws loose. That holding call wouldve been called on anyone. Its not suppose to be called because there was a camera on it? Also you cant hit the QB after he hands the ball off and to claim he was chasing the ball carrier is just arguing for the sake of arguing. The DE lowered his head to hit him away from the play. You need to take your anti-Favre/Saints blinders off
